Around $50k each, one has a 6.75 liter V8 Twin-turbo mated to a 4 speed auto, the other a modern 2.0T mated to a 6 speed auto. The Caddy is brand new and the Bentley is almost 10 years old and has 20k miles. Which would you rather?

Bentley because it looks prettier.

Like everyone else, I'd have the Bentley in a perfect world, but IRL there's no way in fuck that would work, so I'd take the Caddy were it my actual money.

Would it really be that inconceivable?

The Caddy is probably more entertaining to drive, the Bentley makes a statement. In other words it makes your bank statement. Much smaller. Now if it had a CarMax warranty ....

Bentley every day of the week and twice on Sunday, because fuck your bank account. I mean, it can't be THAT bad, can it?

Are mods allowed? If so, I want to put the Bentley on daytons and hydros, and I'd do a trunk safety latch delete (because shutup I have my reasons) and I say that as a red blooded caddy man.

They have so much cool stuff, 500E, 99 Rolls, 2 Bentleys, early AMGs. I need to go there. NOW

Caddy. A million times caddy.

JR1 > My citroen won't start

The CTS because I love the looks way more than the B car also I want a Cadillac

Do it! Do it!

There are WAY too many shops like this that sell awesome used cars in OC. Dangerous for my wallet.

I wish I owned one of these dealerships.

10/28/2014 at 22:05

As there is a small price difference, yes mods are allowed. Me, my perfectly leveled rear suspension and trunk full of dead prostitutes golf clubs won't question you.

If I buy any more cars I will officially have to be committed to a mental institution

My friends and family are concerned

My house and fridge is bare

But the garage is full

Oppo is the only place where people understand

Carmax would go bankrupt.

10/28/2014 at 22:09

I share the same mindset, I can't possibly be that bad

My citroen won't start > JR1
10/28/2014 at 22:10

Interesting, but for 50k which Caddy would you have?

My citroen won't start > Jake - Has Bad Luck So You Don't Have To
10/28/2014 at 22:10

But tiny 2.0T vs 6.75 TwinT V8

If DeMuro hasn't bankrupted them, buy the stock. They're invincible.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > My citroen won't start
10/28/2014 at 22:16

Yes. The cost of upkeep on a car like that is absurd.

Your boy, BJR > My citroen won't start
10/28/2014 at 22:16

Well if they were dead, I wouldn't need to DELETE THE FUCKIN' SAFTEY LATCH, now, would I?

My citroen won't start > Your boy, BJR
10/28/2014 at 22:20

Hey buddy, I'm talking about MY trunk here, I don't know what happens in yours, plus they weren't dead when I left them there.

However, parts will have to bought all the time and they will be expensive! Luxury comes at a hefty price!

5.5sec 0-60 compared to the caddy's 5.7 seconds, but the caddy is more practical in literally every way. And probably handles better.

That Bentley is drop-dead sexy.

This is a tough one. I like the looks of the Cadillac better and I am a GM fanboy, but I'd rather have the V8 boat.

I'd take the Bentley even if it would make me look like an old person.

These are the same arguments that people who buy base model Hondas and Toyotas use. Shortly thereafter they no longer have souls or the will to live.

Hey Rusto. If you (doubtfully) have nothing to do Friday night, want to come up to Burbank for a little photoshoot and a meet?

Bentley, because fuck his bank account!

If the Caddy came with a manual, I would go with that. But seeing as it doesn't then of course I'm gonna go with the fucking Bentley. Are you high on coke or something?! Is this even a decision? And as to my first question, I will be very soon once I take possession of my Bentley, along with some women commonly claimed to be the worlds oldest profession by people, despite it being blatantly untrue

JR1 > Manuél Ferrari
10/29/2014 at 08:33

I mean you could sell the house and live in the Bentley I won't judge

JR1 > My citroen won't start

CTS Vsport. After rebates and trade in it could work

Manuél Ferrari > JR1
10/29/2014 at 12:20

I wonder if I could rig a bathtub into the trunk

Oh that sounds like fun

Friday nights are tough for me. In normally so tired from the week of work that I go home and eat and fall asleep on the couch , lol
